Ah, Ren'py.  I've messed with it before.  It uses Python, which I know absolutely nothing of.  I know more CSS than I do Python, and that's saying something, as I don't know CSS.

Domino took Joe by the arm and led him out of the room, an action that Giovanni didn't object and followed up with him leading Butch and Cassidy to the farthest end of the conference room to speak to them.  Domino led Joe to the vending machines, where she made a show of getting herself something to eat and drink.  After gathering her items, she popped the tab of her drink and took a long swallow.

"Mewtwo is very dangerous to handle, and I've had experience with it before," Domino finally spoke.  "It has excellent mind-control abilities and it had caused one of our own to turn traitor.  It has one trainer under full control, to the point that if that control were to be lifted, the shock could cause her to go insane from the loss of her 'master.'"  She took another drink. "The link is so strong that trying to sever it might result in killing the woman."

Domino cast a quick glance back to the conference room, then returned her gaze to Joe as she led him farther down the hall and to an alcove. "Mewtwo is also capable of suppressing memories."  Her gaze darkened.  "Another thing I learned from experience."  She glanced over her shoulder again as her voice lowered. "The same thing happened to Giovanni, though he doesn't realize it.  So help Mewtwo if he ever found out..."  She let her words trail off for full effect.

Got most of the flat shading done.  Tomorrow, I'll finish it off.

Domino pointed to Joe.  "You will be working under me.  You need to be trained to handle our... other problem."  She eyed Butch and Cassidy carefully, hoping that they wouldn't ask what that other problem is.

Rendered him in grayscale.  Waiting for him to dry so I can apply the wash.

"Have Jessie and James arrived?" Domino looked to Butch and Cassidy.

"As for reassignment," Giovanni stood and readjusted his suit, which was marred with dirt, dust, and what appeared to be blood, "Those three kids you've occasionally follow around?  Forget about them.  We have bigger fish to fry.  These tarot cards, I have accounts from other undercover agents who say that Jessie and James were using these things.  I want you to investigate this matter and find out where they came from."

Domino nodded. "Our agents have witnessed the battles those cards were used in."

"Also," Giovanni turned around and faced Butch and Cassidy. "Carr.  Find out what he's up to.  If you need reinforcements, contact Domino and she'll send a squad to your position."

"As for our other traitor," Domino began pacing, "I will deal with her."  She caught herself before she accidentally mentioned the Mewtwo Project.

Ringman and I are ripping apart his wife's laptop.  The video tutorial says to gently disconnect cables, and it shows the guy prying stuff apart with a flathead.

You can't "gently" anything with a flathead!

(Butch and Cassidy weren't supposed to know about Mewtwo, but eh, I can make it work.  Jessie and James whole predicament now is due to them knowing about Mewtwo, and the tarot cards.)

"Additional members," Domino said simply.  She checked her receiver, then checked her comlink, switching to a different channel.  "Hold up...  Steiner's contacting me..."  She grabbed a pen and quickly jotted down the Morse code signal, then took a few moments to remember the last time she even used Morse code.  She stood, walked to another part of the room, then dug through a drawer, finally pulling out a book, which she thumbed through, and then set to work on translating the Morse code.

Giovanni watched her for a moment, then took a long swallow of his coffee.  "I had received word that two of our other agents were witnesses to a battle in which Mewtwo participated.  Those two will be dealt with accordingly."

"I'll question them, find out what all they know," Domino didn't look up from her work.

Across the table, Dr. Yeung yawned loudly. "Pardon me!"  He stretched his back and leaned forward.  "So, we've had a number of interesting developments, what should we start with?"  It was obvious that fatigue was getting to him.

Giovanni snorted. "First, I'm going to be speaking to Brooks and Cassidy about this whole tarot card mess that apparently we're now involved in.  I'd sooner assign them to investigate that, than Jessie and James.  How those two even got involved is beyond me!"  He let out a long, strained groan.  "When this is over, I'm going on vacation."

"I don't blame you," Domino said absently.  She continued to work on her translation, and then dropped her pen and swore under her breath. "They found the tracking device. Steiner says they were removing it."

You know I think he got better in Mewtwo returns, and I seriously doubt there is a second Mewtwo roaming around. So its probably good old Mewtwo just with a brighter outlook on humanity.
And who knows maybe somebody went and asked if Mewtwo was the same Mewtwo, I doubt that would be something they would keep secret.

Mewtwo did indeed mellow out in Mewtwo Returns.  In the Japanese dub, his voice actor adjusted the voice to be calmer and less edgy.  Even Dan Green's voice didn't have that dark edge like Philip Bartlett had, though that was not the reason the voice actor was changed--Philip Bartlett had died before he could reprise the role.

Judging by the trailer, this seems to be a different Mewtwo.  Or, perhaps whoever got a hold of him again, messed with him, and changed him.

I'm going to get some sleep before I paint some more.  Until then, though, sketching out my pose and shading reference...

QuickEdit:  Drew my pose and shading reference.



Now... to sleep.  I shall paint later.

That almost looks like the Iron Throne.

It is the Iron Throne... or will be once I'm done with it.  I'm throwing my hat into the ring of Game of Thrones parodies with one that I can't believe no one has done yet.

Game of Clones.  Using Mewtwo.

It's so bloody obvious!  So, I shall make my contribution look better than a cheap Photoshop.

After arriving at the new Team Rocket hideout, Joe found himself led into a sort of conference room. In it were some of the scientists he saw previously, as well as Domino, and Giovanni himself. Everyone looked like they needed a nice long shower, and some sleep, however, they were all discussing amongst themselves, likely about what happened at the old complex.

Seeing that Domino had ended her commlink, he timidly asked...

"Why am I here... ... ... Have I been p-promoted?"

Domino regarded Joe with a glance. "In a sense, yes.  We need to keep any knowledge of Mewtwo confined to a certain few, but with how it's been out and about, then we can't let anyone else who sees it trace its origins back to us."  She took off her hat and raked her fingers through her curly hair, snagging on a few tangles. "Ugh, I need a shower..."

"We all do," Giovanni nodded, helping himself to another cup of coffee.

Moore looked at Butch and Cassidy. "Boss wants to see you guys, too.  For reassignment."  He motioned for his troops to restrain Jessie and James in the transport, then stared at Meowth before pulling out plastic zip-tie cuffs and restraining Meowth with those.  "Slip out of those, and we're using a Poke Ball on you." He held up a Rocket Ball.

Hart briefly communicated with Domino. "We're loading the, up and will be underway in a few."

"Excellent," Domino's voice crackled over the walkie-talkie. "Jessie and James are to report directly to Giovanni and I, so as soon as you arrive, take them in through the auxiliary entrance and straight to the conference room on Sub-level F.  Butch and Cassidy are to report to Giovanni's main office for reassignment."

"Yeah," Quickie nodded, yawning, "I could use some sleep, myself."  She took the tablet and headed for the door.  "G'night."

(I vote for a time skip and perhaps a cut to any parallel plot, like with Team Rocket or Obsidian or something, unless anyone has anything to add to this scene.)

If it makes its way across the pond, we'll see it as direct-to-video, most likely.  The movie, however, there's talks of a limited theatrical release in October.  Whether that will include mainstream theaters remains to be seen, as does whether Gettysburg will be on the list of theaters.

I sure hope so.  I wouldn't mind going out to either the Gateway or the Village to watch it.

Well, when that special airs, someone give us a thorough synopsis.  Hell, if you can live-stream it, date and time in EST and I'll be there.
